Book Soup bookstore in West Hollywood at 8818 Sunset Boulevard, is newly unionized. Then the pandemic hit in 2020 and many Book Soup employees were laid off or furloughed, and most were not rehired or replaced when the store reopened at full capacity. Julia Cowlishaw, CEO of Vroman’s and Book Soup, said staffing was modified to comply with safety regulations and occupancy limits. Book Soup has been serving readers, writers, artists, rock & rollers, and celebrities since it was founded by Glenn Goldman in 1975! Book Soup has 60,000 titles, specializing in art, film, photography, music, controversial non-fiction, and literary fiction, as well as international magazines at our outdoor newsstand, NewsMews.
